   Almost there! It’s down to two! (Hell's Kitchen)
Have I mentioned how much I hated Virginia? If you haven’t noticed, I really detest her. So the challenge last night was Chef Ramsey whipped up his Signature dish. The Chefs would have an opportunity to examine and taste it…then by taste alone they would have to recreate the dish. Virginia won, surprisingly, despite how clumsy she is during dinner services; she’s fairly good with the challenges. BUT CAUSE SHE A STUPID LITTLE WH-*muffled screaming and begins to flail wildly*

Bishies: *Ungag her* Try and have some standards, okay?

Yeah okay. Basically Virginia won because she bought Chef Ramsey’s book not to long ago. Was his recipe in there? It’s seems kind of silly for him to use a recipe that he has in a cook book that any schmoe could buy, especially one that his contestants just bought. But it is his signature dish, why not but it into a book? I don’t doubt that Virginia bought the book to skim ideas to use in the next challenge either. However, I am a bit suspicious that Ramsey would do such a silly thing, however at the same time; I really refuse to admit that Virginia may have an excellent palette.

Good palette or not, can she back it up in the kitchen? Not really. It was par for normal with Virginia, clumsy as ever in the kitchen. I’ve also come to realize that Virginia is not only a terrible chef but knows absolutely nothing about dogs!

Okay listen up folks. When dealing with an aggressive dog, never, ever, look them straight in the eye. They take that as a challenge. That’s why children are the common victims of dogs bites. They’re right one level with the dog, and they like to look them in the eye and bark back. Despite what Virginia thinks, if you’re out and about and feel threatened by a dog, it is best to “run away” (actually walk away, sudden quick movements will excite prey instinct in some dogs with their roots in hunting.) Because when a dog is barking at you, it’s letting you know that’s his property and he’s the boss. It’s best to let him think that and walk on by.

Secondly, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. Rubbish. All dogs are trainable, no matter what the age. Keep in mind the breed of dog; certain breeds are little more difficult to train. (Sled dogs for example, or any other breed whose history involves the dogs working somewhat independently from the owner.) Health too is important; some dogs aren’t as healthy as others in old age. Aliments such as stiff muscles or arthritis will prevent them from moving unesccarily. However, I’ve seen older, shelter and rescue dogs be taken in, trained and become therapy dogs or service dogs.

New rule, clichés should not be allowed to spoken on the elimination line. However, the best “please don’t kick me out” speech goes to Giacamo and his “greasy potato”.

Her attitude annoys me too. “Boohoo. I am the outsider. My feelings are hurt. No one likes me. It’s so hard to be me!” ….IT’S SO HARD BEING AROUND YOU “I’m just going to pack my bags now. I know you guys want to eliminate me. You’re going to just eliminate me. Pity party.” UGH. BE QUIET. I don’t know how she keeps ending up on the chopping block and escaping… Maybe Ramsey DOES have a crush on her. I would’ve sent her home a LONG time ago.

Keith got eliminated today. That saddens me. Seriously. I liked him, he’s improved a lot since the very beginning. I’m rather proud of him. Personally, I think he deserves to be in there more than Virginia does. Heather has to win. If Virginia wins…I will kill someone. And it won’t be pretty.

Yes Keith’s leadership skills need some work…but he can cook better than Virginia! Haha. I kind of cheered him on when he told Chef Ramsey off when he was eliminated. xD

Next week is following the same format as last season’s. The chefs to get to design one half of the current Hell’s Kitchen…down the table clothes and the waiter’s clothes. Then get their menu together and such…. But the hard part…Kitchen staff. Yup. Everyone who’s been eliminated is coming back. Though I can’t remember if they get to pick or if Ramsey picks.

But oh man. TOM’S BACK. I think I hated him even more than Virginia. WHY OH WHY IS HE BACK? I hope Virginia gets him, there’s no way he’ll listen to her and no way she can assert himself with him.

HEATHER. YOU GOT TO WIN
